While your point is completely valid.. I guess though that the deepest and worst offenses were by the
'best and the brightest' ... I just love it when that term is used to justify the pay and benefits on Wall street or in government.. :O)

<100 million unemployed people would have been an interesting scenario.>

I bet you believe the terrorists are going to kill us all, too. There is no evidence to support this scenario of doom.
If necessary, all real commercial loans could have been guaranteed and new ones issued directly by the Federal Reserve and its minions and overleveraged Wall St. would have crumbled. Since Wall St. is not the real economy, and does not participate in the productive part of the economy, it would not have mattered to the rest of us, except for a few risk-prone municipalities.

I've just spent 60 days in the jail house
For the crime of having no dough, no no
Now here I am back out on the street
For the crime of having nowhere to go

We were told that the mailman bailed out the financiers in an effort to save the entire economy, including the mailman's job.
